Chapter 304: My Mind is a Bit of a Mess
Mai Guangde went directly to the head of the sales department and showed him his credentials.
"Hello, this is my passport and my travel permit to Hong Kong and Macau."
"Hello, hello! May I ask what's wrong?"
The sales manager was puzzled. There were sales representatives outside to help people view the houses, so why did they come directly to his office?
Mai Guangde got straight to the point: "A young girl greeted us earlier, and we wanted her to show us the house, but she said she was new and didn't have the authority. So I came to talk to you about it and see if you could arrange for a young girl to show us the house."
Upon hearing this, the person in charge immediately agreed. The client had a request, and it wasn't a matter of principle, so the request had to be met.
He led Mai Guangde out of the office and said to Gao Yue, "Hey, what's your name again?"
"Manager Ma, my name is Gao Yue."
"Yes, yes, Gao Yue, look at my memory! Xiao Gao! Since the clients want you to accompany them to see the house, then you'll have to make the trip. Make sure you entertain them well."
Gao Yue glanced at the sales staff over there, then at Manager Ma, and nodded.
Gao Yue had only been there a few days and this was the first time she had encountered something like this, so she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. The main problem was that she didn't know how to explain the selling points of the house to the client, since she hadn't received any special training.
Huang Xiaochuan noticed her embarrassment and smiled, "It's alright, just lead the way, I can figure it out myself."
"Alright then!"
And so, a temporary worker who did odd jobs led Huang Xiaochuan and the others into the villa area to look at houses.
However, Gao Yue still tried her best to explain some of the advantages of the house. She had taken notes after listening to other salespeople explain the house to customers after she arrived. Although she stuttered a bit, she still managed to get the gist of it.
The villas are all ready-built and fully furnished as shown in the pictures, with water, electricity, and gas already in place. All that's needed is to buy some furniture and you can move in immediately. Huang Xiaochuan is interested in the 260-square-meter unit, which has no shared area, so the actual usable area is much larger than 260 square meters.
Huang Xiaochuan was very satisfied with the houses and immediately decided to buy both of them.
He asked Gao Yue, "How much commission do you get for selling a villa?"
Gao Yue frantically waved her hands, "I don't get commissions, I only get a fixed salary."
Huang Xiaochuan laughed: "Don't worry, whoever sells the house gets a commission, that's the rule. Do you think the money's too hot to handle?"
"I... I don't know how much commission Sister Ling and the others get. I've only been here a few days."
Huang Xiaochuan thought about it and agreed. The girl had only been working for a few days and wasn't a professional salesperson, so it was normal for her not to know.
However, he could roughly guess that the young girl might not actually receive the commission in the end, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed that he had acted rashly. He was already several decades old in both his lives, yet he still acted impulsively. He felt good, but in the end, this innocent young girl would suffer. He could imagine how this young girl would be ostracized in the future.
So he started chatting with Gao Yue.
How many people are in your family?
"There are seven people in my family: my grandparents, my parents, my younger brother, and my younger sister. They are all in junior high school."
Gao Yue wasn't afraid of casual conversation; she could handle that.
"So, where do you live?"
Xujiahui,
"Oh! That's not even close!"
"It's alright! I have a bicycle."
"So what else can you do?"
"I just graduated from high school and I don't know anything right now, but I'll learn."
Huang Xiaochuan smiled and nodded, then beckoned Mai Guangde over and whispered a few words to him. Mai Guangde looked at Gao Yue and nodded to indicate that he understood.
The group returned to the sales department, and Gao Yue went to refill their tea.
Upon seeing the group return, Manager Ma approached with a broad smile and asked, "Mr. Mai, were you satisfied with the house you viewed?"
Huang Xiaochuan then asked, "Manager Ma, I'd like to ask, is it possible to register the house under the name of a mainland Chinese?"
"Of course, but we only accept foreign currency for our houses, US dollars, Japanese yen, and Hong Kong dollars are all acceptable. As for who will live in the house, that's not our business."
With that said in mind, Huang Xiaochuan immediately decided to buy two buildings.
He nodded to Mai Guangde, who immediately understood.
"Manager Ma, shall we discuss the prices of villas numbered 9 and 15?"
Manager Ma was overjoyed. They actually bought two buildings at once! What a big client!
"Xiao Gao, quickly go and brew a pot of good tea."
After some haggling, the two 260-square-meter villas were finally sold for a total price of US$938600. This price was considered astronomical at the time, but in the future, the price of such villas in this location will be even more astronomical.
Just as Manager Ma was arranging for people to prepare the contract, Huang Xiaochuan glanced at the sales staff who were looking at them with expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Then he asked, "Manager Ma, I'd like to ask, how much commission does Xiao Gao get?"
Manager Ma's smile vanished abruptly, and he said apologetically, "Oh, Xiao Gao isn't a full-time employee here, so she doesn't get commission. However, we'll consider giving her a small bonus. She really put in a lot of effort to get this contract signed today."
Huang Xiaochuan smiled. Sure enough.
After the formalities were completed, the key, contract, and invoice were put into two file folders. The names of the homeowners on the invoice and contract were Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia, respectively. Now we can go to the police station to apply for a blue-stamp household registration.
Manager Ma and Gao Yue escorted Huang Xiaochuan and his group to the door.
Huang Xiaochuan smiled and said to Manager Ma, "Manager Ma, please go back. We need to say a few words to Gao Yue."
Manager Ma hurriedly replied, "Please, please make yourself at home!"
After Manager Ma left, Mai Guangde took out a business card and gave it to Gao Yue, who looked completely bewildered.
"Ms. Gao, this is my business card. Please keep it safe. I'll give you two options: First, we'll give you 10,000 yuan as a token of our gratitude for your help in buying the house. Second, we'll offer you a job, but the salary won't be very high, only 1,500 yuan a month, with all insurances paid according to mainland regulations. You can only choose one. Once you've decided, you can call me anytime, or come to the address on this business card."
This was Huang Xiaochuan's instruction to Mai Guangde. Considering that his lack of consideration would cause unnecessary trouble for the girl, Huang Xiaochuan planned to give her a job. Anyway, Mai Guangde needed someone to do odd jobs and run errands, so he would let the girl try it out for now. However, the choice was hers; whether she chose 10,000 yuan or a job was up to her.
Mai Guangde's business card lists his title as Assistant to the Chairman of Hong Kong Avenue Group, indicating that it is a Hong Kong-funded enterprise.
Upon hearing Mai Guangde's words, Gao Yue covered her mouth in surprise. A foreign company!
She had no doubt that Mai Guangde would lie to her. She had just seen these people pay nearly a million dollars for two villas without batting an eye. Moreover, she was plain-looking and not particularly attractive, so the other party was definitely not after her. She must have really hit the jackpot.
Given the choice between 10,000 yuan and a job at a foreign company, anyone with a brain would choose the job. Besides, he was just a temporary worker who had just graduated from high school, and this huge windfall made him feel a little dizzy.
Before Gao Yue could even react, Huang Xiaochuan and the others got into their car and drove off. Gao Yue looked at the departing Lexus, then at the business card in her hand, and then pinched herself. Ouch!
Back in the sales department, Gao Yue was still somewhat dazed.
At this moment, Manager Ma smiled and said to her, "Xiao Gao! You've done a great job. I'll report to the company and give you a bonus. Keep up the good work, and we'll try to get you a permanent position if the opportunity arises."
Gao Yue subconsciously replied, "Thank you, Manager Ma!"
Then I sat in the corner in a daze, and after a while I heard other people talking.
"Stupid girl, you're really idiot. Why didn't you just let me go with you? We could have split the commission between the two families. Now you'll only get a little bonus, maybe three or five hundred dollars."
"That's right! No wonder! Now that's great, we've made at least ten thousand yuan on the lottery."
At this moment, Gao Yue didn't care about what others were saying; her mind was a bit of a mess!
